A simple but effective portfolio site that makes great use of a Twitter feed. I like the typography displayed here and the muted grayscale color palette.

A really great looking portfolio page with super thin typography, a subtle background texture and even a little bit of humor. I love the contrast of the yellow on the black. These two colors always make a bold statement when combined and the result here is a fairly classy theme.

Vustom
A really unique looking portfolio with vertical rectangle samples and intense color. The design of this site is quite bold and even features an alternate style accessible via a button in the navigation. An interesting and fun idea!

An attractive but simple portfolio site with some crazy work on display. I really like the hover effect on the thumbnails and the choice of fonts for the site.

Unprinted App
This site is for an iPad app that allows designers to create a digital portable portfolio. The page design is really classy and minimal with nice thin typography and bold contrast with the iPad frame.

EMPP Graphics
This site features a very thin layout with an extremely linear progression. Each portfolio piece is displayed one right after the other with a quick button to return to the top. The page is simple but effective and the work on display is quite beautiful.

This site uses a very simple layout to pull off a classy and minimal portfolio. The biggest section on the page is the work sample slider which really gives emphasis to the talent of the designer and therefore highlights the product for sale.

Agile Style
An interesting take on the grid-based portfolio. I like the hover effects and the scattered client quotes. Those really help to provide comfort for potential clients who might be wary about hiring a designer they are not familiar with.

This site presents an interesting mix of grunge textures and modern design elements. I love the shadows under the portfolio items and the faux sticker look.

Juleco Design
A really nice freelance design portfolio with a solid layout and some fun illustrations. I really appreciate how well thought the entire page is from top to bottom. The area above the footer is just as nice as the header.

Harnods
A nice looking portfolio page that uses a shelf effect and an image slider to really show of the work well. I am not crazy about the giant sticky and would like to see more of the chalk drawing behind it but otherwise I think the designers have done a great job.

Theory Design
Theory Design is the online portfolio of Ryan McCaster, a designer from Vancouver. The rough texture watercolor background is the star of this site, perfectly accented by all of the inset letterpress effects on the graphical elements.

A well designed portfolio with an attractive black and white theme. When you hover over one of the thumbnails the picture is shown in color. A nice effect!

This is All I Do
This is a really unique portfolio site. I love that the designer took a grainy photo and just went with that aesthetic. The typography is brilliant and the page looks outstanding. A really awesome spin on minimalist design!

Design Disease
This site features a really unique design that incorporates lots of different colors and an abstract rectangle theme. The colors, textures, icons and typography all come together to make a really excellent finished product.

This unique portfolio site features sort of a dark and mysterious design. It is a bit different than the type of design we normally feature and should inspire you to consider alternate styles when creating something that really fits your personality.

Inertia Visual Culture
This is a neat portfolio site where you flip through a book to see the past work of the agency. The wooden background is a nice implementation of texture, the UI is great and the site is just fun to play with!

Ten18 Photography
A really nice photography portfolio design. The images at the top have an accordion-like animation when you hover over them. I like the dark theme and noisy background, which goes really well with the minimal button style containing a single pixel stroke and slightly transparent fill.

Thought and Theory
This site features a nice minimalist design theme. The homepage has little else than a vertical navigation area and a logo. The portfolio design shown above uses a simple grid and contains various sorting features. I like the typography on the site as well as the mild color scheme.

Black Rabbit
This site features great contrast, beautiful typography and lots of really nice subtle design touches. I really lie the dark, noisy background and the gallery of portfolio pieces. There is also a bit of an Easter Egg in the site, can you find it?
